There's this emperor, and he asks the shepherd's boy how many seconds in an eternity. The shepherd’s boy says, “There’s this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it, and an hour to go around it. Every hundred years, a little bird comes. It sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. And when the entire mountain is chiseled away, the first second of eternity will have passed.” You must think that’s a hell of a long time. Personally, I think that’s a hell of a bird.
[Finish re-watching Heaven Sent for the umpteenth time]: "Wow, I still have some tears left this time!" [Listens to this]: promptly weeps enough to fall apart into a pile of desiccated atoms.
Wow, just wow!! 3:25 sounds like it was taken straight out of the episode, from 4.00 you perfectly captured the moment The Doctor realises he isn't going to survive this, but then at 4.30 he pushes onwards anyway and then rounded off with a superbly played "Doctors mind palace" song (which was played a LOT faster than what was put on Twitter, wow!) and it was all just beautifully arranged! And all played from memory! Thanks for sharing your amazing talent :)
+Fuffen Thank you for your kind words! I wanted to string the themes together in a way that reflected the narrative of the story, but I also had to consider the musical transitions as well, so I'm glad you found the meaning in the music! Yes, well with the Mind Palace theme, I was playing it a LOT in order to get it up to speed, both for accuracy and for endurance - because all those staccatos were quite painful at first!
Thank you! Orchestration is great, but the pianos gives such transparency to the music so you can hear lots more going on in there -- and the treble line is much clearer this way. Fantastic.
Alone... I am alone The world which shook at my feet And the sky And the trees Have gone And I am alone here Alone... The wind bites now And all the world is grey And I am alone here Alone...
Thank you very much for this comment!! I can occasionally get quite self conscious about my piano playing, so even though this video is a few years old it means a lot!
I always find playing on camera or mic very hard. When the recording is off everything is perfect as soon as the red light goes on everything goes wrong, so you’re doing brill. 😊

Well, PERSONALLY, I think that's a helluva Doctor.
This is wonderful! Making a medley from the Heaven Sent suite was a great idea. Bravo on the Mind Palace piece - impressive!

This is absolutely brilliant! And you did such an amazing job on the Mind Palace piece! The Heaven Sent score is so incredible.
This is incredible, one of my all time favourite piano adaptations of a Doctor Who piece!
I love the hint of a smile at the very end. It says, “that was a whole lot of work but man I nailed it!”
Beautiful suite, you really took the best pieces from this episode and moulded them together into a masterpiece! Superb! :D
This is absolutely beautiful!!! Wow, you've got such great emotion and feel in your performance
I've probably listened to this over 100 times now, I absolutely love it. congratulations on the piano skills :)
Absolutely divine! I can feel Doctor's hopelessness and fear through your music.
Thank you! Orchestration is great, but the pianos gives such transparency to the music so you can hear lots more going on in there -- and the treble line is much clearer this way. Fantastic.
a very nice version of the theme also very moving in parts well done!
This is great! You've done a really good job of arranging it and performing it. This inspires me to get back to my own Doctor Who pianoing :)
Brilliant! You're so talented and there's so much effort that's been put into this! (Also your piano sound gorgeous) :)
This is def worth subscribing to. I can't wait to hear more!! Your transcriptions are awesome!
I love playing this on my keyboard it's so fun
That is great to hear!! I still have a blast pulling it out from time to time myself as well :D

Alone...
I am alone
The world which shook at my feet
And the sky
And the trees
Have gone
And I am alone here
Alone...
The wind bites now
And all the world is grey
And I am alone here
Alone...
Beautiful!!!
This is amazing, you Nerd
I believe the appropriate term would be "geek"
Hell of a cover indeed! :D
From one pianist to another you play very well indeed. Keep it up. 😊
